EOM 2014 Location & Date Poll and Opinions thread.
It’s never too early to start thinking about the next year’s rally schedule, is it? Let’s begin…
NAFO 2014 in La Crosse has landed on the 3rd weekend in September due to a scheduling issue with the venue. The right thing to do follows the adapt, adjust, and overcome approach. Our choices for EOM 2014 date wise would be 12-14 September (a week prior to NAFO) or 26-28 September (the week after NAFO).
There were many positive comments about Maggie Valley area and the Maggie Valley Inn both in person to me as well as those received through the survey that was sent out. I feel many where short changed this year with the rain on Saturday. I spoke to Beth recently at the Maggie Valley Inn; there is a Harley rally in Maggie Valley the weekend of 12-14 September – in her words, “it would not be a really happy time for our group to be there during that…”
If we choose Maggie Valley as the venue, we are forced to the weekend of the 26-28th. That is not really a bad thing – average precipitation falls off at the end of September and into October.
If the group feels we need to venture elsewhere, then make your suggestions here – remember the criteria we look for – lodging for 80-100, banquet seating for 80-100, restaurant and bar on site a huge plus, or within walking distance, and most importantly, access to the roads we all desire.
So air it out here. There are a some individuals who put their hat in the ring to help out for 2014, and we want to get things rolling early.
